Saturday Work 10/16

Crews will be onsite Saturday 10/16 putting in potential back fill and grading the site from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.

During the week, crews will be working on the south elevation retaining wall and new exit corridor foundation wall. Excavation and grading work will accompany the deep foundation installations.

Construction of the ramped section of the South Access Drive to connect to Mt. Vernon is anticipated to start mid-November. Fill material will be placed in “lifts” and compacted until the final grade height is reached.

Tower Crane will be in full operation with the super structure steel. We are anticipating the crane running a little later in the day to make up for the loss of morning day light.

Slab on grade concrete pours will take place next week, depending on weather conditions.

As communicated previously, the South Building roofing work that occurred this summer was delayed prior to its completion. We are anticipating that the work will resume in the next few weeks, once the roofer acquires the permit for a small crane. Crews will be using the same method as last time:

• The crane will be located in the Mt. Vernon cut-out.
• The west sidewalk and one lane of Mt. Vernon will be closed when the crane is in use.
• Flaggers will be on hand to direct traffic when the crane is in use.
• Signage will indicate the sidewalk closure.

We will send out an additional blog post once we have more detailed information and specific timing.

Typical levels of construction noise and vibrations are expected with all of these activities. For the deep foundation work, any possible vibrations will be monitored by a third party testing agency.
